To address this challenge, we propose an Adaptive Strategy Hybrid Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (ASHSBOA), an enhanced variant of the Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm (SBOA). ASHSBOA integrates a weighted multi-direction dynamic learning strategy, an adaptive strategy-selection mechanism, and a hybrid elite-guided boundary-repair scheme to enhance the ability to identify local optima and balance exploration and exploitation. The algorithm is tested on benchmark suites CEC-2017 and CEC-2022 against nine classic or state-of-the-art optimizers. Non-parametric tests show that ASHSBOA consistently achieves superior performance and ranks first among competitors. Finally, we applied ASHSBOA to a multi-UAV 3D path planning model. In Scenario 1, the path cost planned by ASHSBOA decreased by 124.9 compared to the second-ranked QHSBOA. In the more complex Scenario 2, this figure reached 1137.9. Simulation results demonstrate that ASHSBOA produces lower-cost flight paths and more stable convergence behavior compared to comparative methods. These results validate the robustness and practicality of ASHSBOA in UAV path planning.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/computers14100439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,15]],"date-time":"2025-10-15T14:04:02Z","timestamp":1760537042000},"page":"439","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Simulation Application of Adaptive Strategy Hybrid Secretary Bird Optimization Algorithm in Multi-UAV 3D Path Planning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4445-6256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaojun","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rundong","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoyang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, Dalian Jiaotong University, Dalian 116028, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"43","DOI":"10.1109\/MTAS.2006.1700021","article-title":"Evolution or revolution?
